High West Rendezvous Rye Whiskey

High West Rendezvous Rye Whiskey

High West Rendezvous Rye is a flagship expression from Utah’s High West Distillery, celebrated for its bold, high-rye mash bill and complex flavor profile. This limited-release whiskey blends two straight rye whiskeys: a spicy 6-year-old rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley) from MGP and a rich 16-year-old rye (80% rye, 20% malted rye) from High West’s own distillery.

 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Yellow plum jam on raspberry scones, boysenberry turnover, cinnamon sugar graham crackers, cocoa-dusted orange peels, leather harvesting bag, dried white flowers, morning dew drops on lavender buds.

• Palate: Raspberry jalapeño jelly on toasted brown bread, clove-infused orange slices, vanilla-poached dates, homemade applesauce with cinnamon sticks, fried dough with powdered sugar, mint tea.

• Finish: Cherry fruit leather, ginger chews, stone-cut oats with cream and golden raisins, fresh cracked pepper.  

• Alcohol by Volume: 46% (92 proof)

 Best Enjoyed

Neat, with a splash of water, or on the rocks. Its robust rye character also makes it an excellent base for classic cocktails like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

High West Rendezvous Rye offers a rich, layered tasting experience that showcases the depth and complexity of high-rye whiskey.
